Fiber Optic Port
LEDs
The port indicators on the AT-4016F front panel provide visual diagnostic
and activity information for network analysis. Each Fiber Optic port
supports the following indicator functions with three front panel LEDs per
port, arranged in a central bank as shown in Figure 20.
LINK (Solid Green)—This indicates that the particular port has a valid
link and is not partitioned.
LINK (Amber)—This indicates that the particular port does not have a
valid link or it is partitioned.
RECEIVE (Flashing Green)—This indicates that the port is receiving
Ethernet packets.
COLLISION (Flashing Amber)—This LED will flicker to indicate packet
collisions. Although occasional collisions are normal in Ethernet networks,
excessive collisions are an indication of possible segment problems. A
constantly illuminated Collision LED may indicate that there is a port
problem, cabling problem, or excessive traffic problem.
If you believe there are excessive packet collisions, then you are advised to
consider Omega management for additional information such as the
amount of transmitted packets instead of collisions.
